This paper presents a study of free-standing Bronze Age megalithic monuments across western Scotland: Argyll, Lochaber, Kintyre, and the isles of Mull, Coll and Tiree. The original project was designed to unearth the locational choices of their builders, the reasons for these choices, and what they reveal about the belief systems of these societies. Using statistical analyses and 2D and 3D GIS, it will be demonstrated that vision is the main force behind locational decisions. The GIS analyses revealed that the builders chose a particular horizon shape, defined by qualities of distance, direction and relative apparent height as viewed from the monument (altitude). Significantly, approximately half the sites have the same locational variables as all the sites considered on the isles of Coll and Tiree (labelled ‘classic sites’: Higginbottom et al. in J Archaeol Method Theory 22:584–645, 2015. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10816-013-9182-7), while the other half are the topographical reverse (‘reverse sites’), where the major ‘astronomical show’ differs due to the topographical differences between the site types. It is relevant to note that landscapes that block views of particular major astronomical phenomena in the south are significantly more common at reverse sites than at classic sites. Specific results pertaining to individual areas will also be highlighted. It will be seen that the interplay between the astronomy and the topographical choices of the builders at each site highlights possible cosmological ideologies that can be observed and that were shared across western Scotland.
本文介绍了一项横跨苏格兰西部的独立青铜器时代巨石纪念碑的研究:阿盖尔、洛查伯、金泰尔以及马尔、科尔和蒂里岛。最初的项目旨在揭示他们的建设者的位置选择，这些选择的原因，以及他们揭示了这些社会的信仰体系。使用统计分析和2D和3D GIS，将证明视觉是定位决策背后的主要力量。GIS分析显示，建筑商选择了一个特定的地平线形状，由距离、方向和从纪念碑(高度)看的相对表观高度的质量来定义。值得注意的是，大约一半的遗址与科尔岛和特里岛的所有遗址具有相同的位置变量(标记为“经典遗址”:Higginbottom et al. J Archaeol Method Theory 22:58 84 - 645, 2015)。https://doi.org/10.1007/s10816-013-9182-7)，而另一半则是地形相反(“反向地点”)，其中主要的“天文显示”由于地点类型之间的地形差异而不同。值得注意的是，在南方，阻挡特定主要天文现象的景观在反向地点比在经典地点更为常见。与个别领域有关的具体结果也将突出显示。我们可以看到，在每个地点，建筑师的天文学和地形选择之间的相互作用突出了可能的宇宙学意识形态，这些意识形态可以被观察到，并在苏格兰西部共享。

Koji Mizoguchi
This JWP Focus paper argues that material culture transformation can be understood as the transformation of the way human beings and material culture mutually open up their potentialities. Such opening up/becoming takes place in the domains of their encounter, which often take the form of human communications. In communication, human beings and material culture mutually mediate/intervene/transform their modes of existence as the former cope with various uncertainties and risks that the world generates and that communication differentiates. Drawing upon the theory of communication developed by the social systems theorist, Niklas Luhmann, the paper will elucidate and elaborate this perspective through an examination of the long-term transformation of the mode of such mutual opening up/becoming by human beings and the material culture of their potentialities that took place in the Jomon and the Yayoi periods of Japan between 13000 Cal BC and AD 250/300.
